Regina is no more. The queen of the Parisian night passed away on Sunday May 1 at the age of 92. Portrait and look back at her life, which she lived like a party.
Popular singer and icon of the night, Régine had started her career in the 60s with cult refrains of French song like The Little Papers, a song written by Serge Gainsbourg. She also collaborated with Charles Aznavour, Barbara or even Henri Salvador. She was also known for her covers or exuberant songs like The big Zoa in 1973. And she will have inspired the younger generation as Larusso, who will resume, in 1998, his tube You will forget me.
“The night is an orphan, it has lost its queen”
Marked by her tragic childhood, the daughter of Polish Jews hidden during the Second World War in Belleville, Régine did not hesitate to get involved and campaign for undocumented immigrants or in the fight against drugs. Collector of mythical discotheques (the New Jimmy’s, the Palace) in the capital or in her name around the world, Régine will have been the queen of the night. His friends like Pierre Palmade or Line Renaud paid tribute to him on social networks. “The night is an orphan, it has lost its queen”said the singer and actress.
